The fisherman listened to the man's suggestion attentively. It seemed that the Gallic wanted to try to escape, and that worried him a little. If he attempted something more forceful than usual it could result in trouble for him, as he would be considered as a possible accomplice.
"If the police or the special services haven't claimed your ship for research yet, I doubt it will be of any use to anyone.
As for my release, I have made certain arrangements already, although they always cost somewhat on my reputation."
He pondered for some time, considering the potential benefits the Gallic could bring to him if he were to become in his debt.
"Perhaps I can do something for you too... but it will depend on what you can afford. I guarantee it would be something better than trying to force your way out of here."
*Not that I can see how that can happen in Fuchu.* The Fisherman thought to himself.
